1st half of May 2024

 01/05/2024

I think this was the last item of Angliss I had in the freezer.

It was a very good deal, but I was too lazy to cook it and stashed it till I couldn't ignore it anymore.

It was a great opportunity to use the Turkish meat marinate spices I bought in Turkiye.

Good meal for 3pax under $85 which could had been $200 in a restaurant.

15 days to Mauritius.

As usual, it's always me, I guessed I am a freaking expert in itinerary planning.   Nobody contributed anything, but all good as everybody followed obediently without a second word.  It's kinda tough cos all information on social media were contributed by ang mos, I had no idea what to expect in Mauritius, le son didn't talk much or rather he didn't explore extensively.

Came to Jurong with Luis, he went for school interview, so I waited for him in Jurong Point Mall.

Watched movie Demon Slayer and had cheap dinner at food court.

Then the boy reported back to camp, I snailed back by MRT.

Bought travel bottles for shampoo, conditioner and bath oil (in case skin dry out)

06/05/2024

Made bean paste soup with left over tomahawk, it was crazy yummy lolxx...

Papavoo was out of his mind, he bought 4 tubs of korean bean paste which I really don't know how since I am not cooking that much nowadays.

Stir fried brussel sprouts with prawns and dinner was served.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

07/05/2024

Made an appointment to "tie" my piles.  The queue for collecting medicine was insane.  Not sure when will they improve the situation...

Solo dinner in Century Sq Butahage at around 4.30pm.

Super duper sinfully yummy.  Shouldn't be eating fried food but I didn't care already.

There were at least 5 solo diners with me lolxx... By 5pm all left and I had the whole restaurant to myself.  Early dinner on weekdays was always the best experience ever.

So many times I had the whole restaurant to myself.  Even if that's not the case, it's almost guaranteed quiet and peace where I could snail eat my way.

Wasn't hungry, merely wanted a place to sit.  Ended up with a big bowl of desert instead of a drink.

Milk tea with grass jelly and many other nick nack ingredients.

So yummy, tummy was bursting.

Bought all the mos repellent.

Not a Kitty Fan but too cute to resist.

They were having opening ceremony with all the 网红 and celebrities inside.

We left ASAP since there were no seats at all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

09/05/2024

Nua at home.

PapaVoo's friend bought him these from Taiwan.  These were the best things ever from Taiwan.

Other than food, nothing seemed to be interesting in Taiwan wor, or was it me who couldn't find their attractions?

Was at Oakwood, we had dinner at a Thai restaurant,

We had a big Lala pot which I didn't take photo, also boat noodles that covered the whole table lolxx...

Haiz.. Polyclinic to collect medicine for cholesterol control.

Either the Polyclinic or hospital always gives me depression.  The only way to curb it was to have good food.

Thus my solo early dinner at Century Square.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

11/05/2024

Hollow char siew polo bun from BreadTalk, still yummy though it was hilarious to bite into air.

Old man brought me for dinner.

We had a pork dish with rice to share.

And this charcoal fish pot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

12/05/2024

Lunch.

Evening, we drove Luis to camp.  The journey was always nicely ulu towards the end.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

13/05/2024

Took train into JB.  Didn't venture anywhere fun, just stuck in City Square (again).  But lunch was good at the top most floor.

Poach eggs with noodles was a crazy combi lolxx...

My ultimate motive was to get a manicure and a body massage (my old bones shattering).

I basically got everything done in Komtar, kinda lame but all good (affordable).

Susan's Blog: Chucky Cat Cafe at Komtar Johor Bahru (susanwong.blogspot.com)

My dinner was a quick fix at Kimdo BBQ.

14/05/2024

Forgotten which bakery but this was cream puff was from JB if I wasn't wrong.  Looked so pretty from this angle right?

Had dinner at Century Square food court with old man.  I forgotten what we were doing there.  Cos if there's nothing in particular, I don't step out of the house.

This kinda replaced Mcdonald's cones for us.

I am finally done with 1st half of May lolxx...

2nd half of April 2024

17/04/2024 

Yummy dinner from my house's coffee shop, was close to $10, nearly not enough money to pay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

18/04/2024

Solo branch.  Salmon dumplings really not nice, threw away the rest.  It was a FOC item from some purchase.  CP wanton was still good, though not as good as Angliss's.  But they no more selling to end users already.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

22/04/2024

Came to pick up my old man from airport, though I am quite useless not being able to drive.

Useless me.

Malaysians and Taiwanese (they were more rural) went waawaawaa... over this little 3D fountain.  We were like... ok lor, thank you guys for loving Singapore.

Ate with old man at Swee Choon in T2 itself, he was a happy old kid, very cute at times.

My present, heehee... LifeWork black sling, so cool.

He bought some food which I thought of giving some to Darren.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

23/04/2024

I went to an alteration tailor, it closed on me, urrrggg...

I bought a kebaya from Shein instead of Geylang, cos it's so much cheaper.  But it came way too big, so ya... had to make another trip.

Walked to Tampines Centre.

Wanted to eat but was craving for steamboat at the same time.

Solo shabu shabu dinner.  Love it!  Ate slowly, ultimate shiokness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

24/04/2024

Not sure what's the agenda, dinner with old man at Express White Bee Hoon at basement of Tampines Mall.

Spinach with clear water??

Nice tofu but why in metal bowl??  Metal bowls/plates are for food prep (to me).  I find using metal bowls/plates for serving is very.... not nice (If you are using metal bowls at home for serving, please don't come and pick a fight with me.  It's your preference and I have no intention to poke into your style).

Another metal bowl of curry fish slices, tasted not bad, but I couldn't get over the eye sore of metal bowls...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

27/04/2024

Intention was to go for Yakiniku dinner as a birthday treat for Luis.  Ended up in Maze Soba.  Nevertheless, it was good and we were full to the brim.

Burst belly meal it was.

Then we went for a 15mins facial lolxx... it was $25 or $35, couldn't remember and the experience was comfortable and nice.  They used suction machine to clear the sebum which impressed me.  This was at Paya Lebar but I forgotten which building liao.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

29/04/2024

Solo brunch.  I find peace being solo.  It was for a brief few hours I was single minding my own business.

Was married again when old man came back.  Indian rojak closed on us, had no choice but to go to the nearest restaurant for dinner.  We had sinful local (not authentic) korean BBQ.

God knew how many kg I had put on...

The baby squids were the most delicious thing in the restaurant.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

30/04/2024

Got out of Chinatown station and completely lost.  I am more familiar with Shinjuku than in Singapore Chinatown, kill me lolxx...

After messaging old man, got out from the right exit.  Buying souvenirs for Darren's colleagues and new friends in Mauritius.  I felt that it's nice to bring something over instead of arriving empty handed.

Look of the sibei hot day.

It's difficult to get it cheap and nice.  Too expensive cannot tahan, I had 30pax (bought more at the end), too cheap quality CMI.

Went to the street booth for Vietnam egg coffee.

Was $1+ when I had it in Da Nang, here $6+ haiz... But cravings satisfied.

Being mistaken as a tourist lolxx...  I am authentic Singaporean, born here, raised up here.  But I must have lost all the bad or good "qualities" of a typical Singaporean.

Selfie with Buddha Tooth Relic Temple.

Nothing majestic compared to those in China, but still managed to attract some tourists.

Waiting for old man to knock off and meet me.

Found dinner place.

Not too ex and was interesting to me.

They had 2 mouthfuls $1.90 item.

$5.90 yong tau foo.

I had cheese seafood bee hoon.

Taste was milky instead of chessy.

We had one $1.90 pork lard rice with sunny up egg.

At the end we had tote bags, pouches, pens, keychains, nail chippers and a deck of poker cards.

I did the right thing, Darren's peers were so happy.  Despite of getting more than 30pax which he requested, it wasn't quite enough.  Luckily we had some tibits to distribute a bit.

That's for Apr in a dash.  This is back dated, now it's Jul, half of 2024 gone sia...
